"In recent years, the agro-food industry has been marked by numerous epidemics, among which the most representative are certainly Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE), commonly known as ‘mad cow’ disease. In the mid-90s, the spread of this disease in the EU saw over 2 200 cases and, to date, has led to the deaths of 207 people. I should like to point out that this epidemic radically changed not only the European system for managing food crises, but also public awareness of these issues. Even today, over 10 years later, a survey conducted by Eurobarometer reveals that 62% of Europeans feel they cannot protect themselves against diseases such as mad cow disease. It is therefore important that citizens know that in Europe, there is constant monitoring of spongiform diseases, which can offer prevention and guarantee, if necessary, rapid identification. I agree with the rapporteur as to the validity of the proposals tabled by the Commission on the TSE Road map 2. Lastly, I hope that the Member States together with the EU scrupulously apply the European legislation on feed and food."@en1
